When I was pregnant I was so anti-dummy it wasn't funny, and now there are days when I wish Jazz had taken the dummy! She did take it, once, when she was a few hours old, and has never taken it since (like Maz, she preferred the nipple... oh, sorry, thats past tense... she still prefers the nipple).

If it works for you, then run with it i think. Ignore other people and their ideas and just do whatever works for you and your little one.
